The South Strand Clinic was established approximately 6 years ago to expand on the availability of mental health services in Horry County. We have afforded the availability of comprehensive care to SPMI patients with a wide array of services including outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluation, nursing services and medication management. Presently this center provides outpatient clinic services to children enrolled in schools that do not have school-based support staff assigned to their schools, and for patients who prefer out of school supports. Some of our more chronic patients are receiving supports through the MDFT (Multidimensional Family Therapy) Program. The goal of this program is to improve parental and family functioning and prevent out-of-home placement. Staff also provide outpatient clinic supports to adults in Horry County. Our services include individual therapy, family therapy, psychiatric nursing services, psychiatric medical assessments, crisis counseling and mental health assessments. We also provide crisis supports to patients who walk into our center. Team South Strand is committed to not only the patients, but also to the neighboring community.
